This scholarship was established to honor the legacy of Claire M. Liska who graduated from Arizona State University's College of Nursing in 1968. As a registered nurse, Claire returned to college later in life to earn her Bachelors of Nursing degree. Claire later earned her MSN and continued her career as a Nurse Educator. With this endowment, the donor wishes to honor her mother's educational and professional accomplishments while simultaneously providing a source of financial assistance for non-traditional nursing students.
